I'm quiting the antique stores for a while!!!

[ShaveMark]

I just got back from some new antique stores and got a few decent items but I can't go in and come out any more without spending at least $100.00 between me and my wife. The metal Gillette case has a super speed flare tip in which i'm sure that it isn't the right razor, but I got it mainly for the case and blade holder....i'm sure that I have a loose razor that would match that case but i need to research first. This store had several more sets that would have put me at $300.00 so I had to stop before that point. I have way more vintage shaving gear than I have room for. I need some kind of nice case to keep everything in that I can put away some where. Looks like I have several items to clean, look out here comes the scrubbing bubbles and metal polish! Oh and the saddle soap....we don't even want to talk about strops and hones and straights!

How funny. I know exactly where you got some of that stuff. I was at the exact same store today and held those exact same items in my hands.

 

[GentsInstinct]

What other sets did they have that you left, that I may want you to get for me?

Yep, she showed me one of the razors in the plastic case that she was holding for you.

I'm jealous. Most antique stores around where I live just sell brown furniture.

Several more Valet Auto Strops and some old brushes and some old ball techs and a few more schick injectors and some mugs and several straights. Oh and some fat handled gold techs in their cases.

You bought her best brush by far. That one is a beauty. If I got close to buying anything today, it was that brush... but then I figured it would sit forever and not get restored. I'm a procrastinator of epic proportions.

You just need to buy the furniture that looks like a razor!

I would say you have a duty between the both of you to go back and clear out the store and BST the goodies!
